SAUTEED SHRIMP AND FEIJOA

2 ripe medium-sized feijoas (about 6 ounces) 2 tablespoons butter 3/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/2 teaspoon sugar 3/4 pound medium shrimp, shelled (10 ounces if shelled) Salt and white pepper to taste 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint, or to taste (or substitute parsley) Peel feijoas carefully; cut off and discard both ends. Halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise slices 1/4-inch thick. (Seeds are edible.) Melt butter in heavy skillet; add feijoa slices and ginger; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Cook over moderate heat until slightly browned, about 1 minute. Turn slices over, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Cook over slightly lowered heat, shaking pan to prevent sticking, until lightly browned and almost tender, about 2 minutes; timing depends on ripeness of fruit.

Gently scoop feijoas to the side of the pan. Add shrimp; sprinkle with salt and white pepper. Toss over moderate heat until slightly pinkish, but not cooked through - about 1 minute. Add mint. Toss all gently, then cover pan. Let stand off heat about 2-3 minutes; toss again and serve at once. Serves 2.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
